Confirmation from Cannan after concerns over headcount
There are no plans in place for a 'wholesale review' of the Isle of Man's public service.
That's according to the chief minister who says there are already mechanisms in place to control headcount and payroll costs.
The question was raised by Middle MHK Stu Peters in the House of Keys who was concerned that employee numbers are rising.
Alfred Cannan said under the new 'Our Island Plan' departments would be required to submit their annual plans for debate which would bring more transparency:
Work underway to remove asbestos from former Golf Links Hotel
Police raise welfare concerns about vehicle occupant
New EV charging points planned for Island's ports
Campaigners against offshore windfarm proposals hit out at 'undemocratic' process
